With a Spinet Piano (Drop Action) the geometry of the action makes it more difficult to depress the key nearer the balance rail. When you are playing the piano, your fingers will strike the keys either in the front of the key or toward the back of the key closer to the balance rail as shown below by the arrows. Why is a Console piano better? (See Diagram Below) The big difference is how they feel. The Spinet Action (shown below) Notice the action is sitting below the keys, and the hammers are almost on the same level as the keys.
The Console Action (shown below) Notice the keys fully extend under the action. A console action sits fully on top of the keys. The Spinet Piano has a “drop action’, which means that the “action” is “dropped” below the level of the keys. The way to tell the difference between the spinet and the console is to open the top, and look at the hammers (the felts that strike the strings) in relation to the back of the actual keys themselves.
